Bamiyan (town) : ウィキペディア英語版
Bamyan


Bamyan ((ペルシア語:بامیان) ''Bāmyān''), also spelled Bamiyan〔e.g. (Unesco ), (BBC )〕 and Bamian,〔(Library of Congress country study )〕 is the capital of Bamyan Province in central Afghanistan. With an altitude of about 2,550 m and with a population of about 61,863, Bamyan is the largest town in the central Afghan region of Hazarajat, and lies approximately 240 kilometres north-west of Kabul, the national capital. Bamyan was the site of an early HinduBuddhist monastery from which Bamyan takes its name (Sanskrit ''varmayana'', "coloured"). Bamyan's name is translated as ‘The Place of Shining Light’.〔http://www.environmentalgraffiti.com/beaten-track/news-afghan-region-where-1000-year-old-buddha-statues-were-destroyed?utm_source=outbrain&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=outbrain#ooh0OE0gyMFEzR5c.99at〕 Many statues of Buddha are carved into the sides of cliffs facing Bamyan city. In 2008, Bamyan was found to be the home of the world's oldest oil paintings.〔(nationalgeographic.com: accessed June 6, 2008 )〕
The city of Bamyan has a population of 39,915 (in 2015). 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://unhabitat.org/books/soac2015/ )〕 it has 4 districts and a total land area of 3,539 Hectares. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://unhabitat.org/books/soac2015_volume2/ )〕 The total number of dwellings in this city are 4,435 .〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://unhabitat.org/books/soac2015_volume2/ )
The Bamiyan valley marked the most westerly point of Buddhist expansion and was a crucial hub of trade for much of the second millennium CE. It was a place where East met West and its archaeology reveals a blend of Greek, Turkish, Persian, Chinese and Indian influence.
==Geography==

Situated on the ancient Silk Route, the town was at the crossroads between the East and West when all trade between China and the Middle East passed through it. The Hunas made it their capital in the 5th century. Because of the cliff of the Buddhas, the ruins of the Monk's caves, Shar-i-Gholghola ('City of Sighs', the ruins of an ancient city destroyed by Genghis Khan during the 1221 siege of Bamiyan), and its local scenery, it is one of the most visited places in Afghanistan. The Shar-i-Zohak mound ten miles south of the valley is the site of a citadel that guarded the city, and the ruins of an acropolis could be found there as recently as the 1990s.〔Ring, Trudy;Salkin, Robert M.;Schellinger, Paul E; La Boda, Sharon (1995) ''International Dictionary of Historic Places: Asia and Oceania'', P.79. Taylor & Francis, ISBN 1-884964-04-4〕
The town is the cultural center of the Hazara ethnic group of Afghanistan. Most of the population lives in downtown Bamyan. The valley is cradled between the parallel mountain ranges of the Hindu Kush and the Koh-i-Baba.
Bamyan is a small town with a bazaar at its center. It has no infrastructure of electricity, gas, or water supplies. According to Sister Cities International, Bamyan has established a sister city relationship with Gering, Nebraska, United States. It has an airport with a gravel runway.
Mountains cover ninety percent of the province, and the cold, long winter, lasting for six months, brings temperatures of three to twenty degrees Celsius below zero. Mainly Daizangi Hazara people live in the area. Transportation facilities are increasing, but sparse.

The main crops are wheat, barley, mushung, and baquli, grown in spring. When crops are damaged by unusually harsh weather, residents herd their livestock down to Ghazni and Maidan Provinces to exchange for food.
The city and the province are served by Bamyan Airport.
